2105 Interface Module
Section 1 Introduction
This instruction manual is designed to help you gain a thorough
understanding of the operation of the 2105 and 2105Ci Interface
Modules. Teledyne Isco recommends that you read this manual
completely before placing the equipment into service.
Information in this manual pertains to both the 2105 module and
2105Ci cellular modem module. Where there are specific differ-
ences between the modules, they are identified.
1.1 Product Description The 2105 Interface Module is designed to store data from Isco’s
2100 Series flow modules and Pulse Doppler flow meters. The
2105 also provides Modbus input, sampler interface, and rain
gauge and SDI-12 input. It works in conjunction with Isco’s
Flowlink software.
Note
If you have ordered any version of the Isco Model 677 logging
rain gauge (Isco rain gauge and 2105 module combination),
your system includes the rain gauge interface cable
(part #69-2004-581).
The 2105 can be located anywhere within a stack of up to three
other 2100 Series networked modules, using the same locking
mechanism that connects the 2100 Series modules to each other.
The 2105 is compatible with Isco’s 2150 Area Velocity flow
module, 2110 Ultrasonic flow module, 2101 Field Wizard, 2103
landline modem module, 2103Ci cellular modem module, and
2102 wireless module. The stack can be powered by any of
several power options offered by Teledyne Isco, such as the 2191
battery module.
All enclosures are rated NEMA 4X, 6P (IP68). The permanently
sealed enclosures are designed to meet the environmental
demands of many flow monitoring applications. All connections
between modules, sensors, and communication cables lock in
place. The locking mechanisms strongly secure the components
and ensure a watertight seal.
